Scrap wood project

[Ken Lotts]

The wife and I have been doing a few puzzles this year. 
One came with a cardboard stand to hold the box so you could see the picture while building the puzzle.. 
Well, I was compelled to build a stronger version of the stand using some scrap pine. 
Everything was just eye balled and glued but even so, it looks cool.  Fun stuff

Very clever. Well done.

Very useful project. I think I'll put that on the to do list. If you can provide any rough dimensions it would be great. Is the stock 1/4"? Thanks

Great idea!. We have been doing 1K puzzles also. The one puzzle we ordered from Amazon had a very small picture on the box so we went to the copy store for an enlargement. We also ordered puzzle piece trays. I guess I could have built them but I wanted to save my wood for other projects. We really like the Ingoood puzzles. They have the full size pictures and are lettered on the back so you can do a section at a time. They also sell a sealer to keep the puzzle together. I have been making the frames from picture frame stock they sell at Lowes. Gold antique paint from Hobby Lobby. It goes a long way.

I had some 1/4 panel that I used.  I provide a scan of the original cardboard stand that I modeled it after.
 I threw in a few dimensions but I think you should be able to print to scale.

Clever idea, beats cardboard any day and lasts longer.
